The Ingredients Used in the Video to Make Homemade Kefir

Clean hands and a clean workplace. You don't want to introduce any competing bacteria or molds!

One quart of organic 2% milk, warmed to 92 degrees F on low heat, stirring often, in a pot on the stove and poured into a clean, glass quart measuring cup.

One packet of kefir starter culture (you can purchase some from
Amazon.com.

A clean glass quart jar, washed in hot, soapy water, rinsed well and drained. (I used a canning Mason jar that you can order here, or you can re-purpose a quart jar from pickles, artichokes, etc).

The
lid and ring that come with the Mason jar, washed well, rinsed and
drained and very loosely put on the jar once the culturing milk is
poured in the jar. Or you can use a dry coffee filter or a clean bandana and secure it with a rubber band.

A clean non-metal spoon (I used non-metal so as not to introduce any metal ions into the culture).

A clean towel to keep the culture warm and keep out dust and bugs

After
the 18-24 hours that it takes the kefir to culture, you must
refrigerate it! And be sure to use a small amount of it (about 1/4 cup)
to reinoculate another quart of milk within a few days and definitely
within a week to extend your savings. More information about doing that
is and the cost-savings involved are on this page.
